The artist of this work is Édouard Traviès de Villers (1809-1876), a French animal painter, illustrator, and lithographer, particularly known for his depictions of birds and insects. Charles d’Orbigny’s Dictionnaire d’histoire naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History) is a 19th-century scientific work, bringing together plates and detailed descriptions of the animal and plant kingdoms. Combining scientific rigor and artistic quality, each engraving precisely illustrates natural diversity, making this dictionary an educational and decorative document, ideal for framing and collecting. The couroucou has dark, shimmering plumage with metallic blue and green reflections. Its long, curved beak accentuates its elegant profile. Its swift flight and noble bearing make it a discreet yet remarkable bird. • Find all our lithographs and prints on our profile. • Send us a message with any questions. • Fast delivery and careful packaging for safe arrival. • For the purchase of multiple prints, contact us to arrange a discount and combined shipping.
